• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am quite pleased with the answer the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government has given but I want to remind him of 2008 after the coming together of the Grand Coalition Government and his own homecoming in his upcountry home. Is it not also a fact that councilors countrywide attended your homecoming on public funds? Will you also surcharge them and how many other functions of high ranking Government officials have councilors attended on Government funds? Will you surcharge all of them and stop this practice? How much was used in your homecoming by ... view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of the Motion as a Member of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). I associate myself with the remarks by the mover while moving the Motion. I also want to observe that the country is in reform mood. view
• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as the PAC and all watchdog committees, it is not proper that we keep complaining year in, year out, about the failings of public servants. It is time they started to mend their ways. One of the major complaints is that officers fail to avail the accounting documents in time for audit. This is a manifestation of the culture of impunity. We should be able to have necessary punitive measures which will compel the officers to comply. Many Permanent Secretaries or Accounting officers also display lack of view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for that answer, but also point out to him that the stay order in this case means that Angata Mwangangi and her family should be left to have quiet enjoyment of these plots Nos.1 to 45, until the court determines the issues between them and the Land Adjudication Office. Could the Assistant Minister, therefore, confirm that the police will desist from harassing the family of Angata Mwangangi and burning their houses the way I produced documents here that their houses and crops have been razed to the ground by ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has, in his subsequent answers, contradicted himself. The family cannot burn their own house and destroy their own land. I believe that before the police appreciated the effect of the court orders, they are the ones who moved in and destroyed the family property. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that he will direct the police to leave this family to enjoy the benefits of the property until the court determines the case? Secondly, could he also check the police file and note that the five children of Angata who were arraigned in court ... view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Forestry and Wildlife:- (a) to clarify whether he is aware that the Marine Park at Malindi has been transferred to a private company; and, (b) what he is doing to ensure that the same is reverted to the public. view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether the Assistant Minister has had enough time. If he has, has he responded? view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Assistant Minister has admitted that particular park is leased. Could he, confirm to the House that the annual revenue collected by the park before it was leased for Kshs1.5 million a year, was somewhere around Kshs40 million? view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that the Assistant Minister is not aware how much money it was making and, therefore, Parliament is not in a position to appreciate his answer, would it be in order for him to go and check the earnings of the park per month and for the last one year and table them and also the lease agreement, so that Parliament is able to appreciate exactly what is happening? view
• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
